Franschhoek has no shortage of places to stay, and holiday rentals like Airbnb have become an easy default. They’ll get you a set of keys and a list of house rules. La Clé gets you a home in the valley, with a team behind it who know it inside out.
Five minutes from the village, on two working farms
La Clé sits among vineyards on two working farms, a five-minute walk from Franschhoek’s restaurants, galleries and shops. You get the quiet of the farm in the evenings and the village on your doorstep by day, with no taxis or parking to sort out.
A team who knows the valley
Rentals leave you to plan everything yourself. At La Clé, our team can book restaurant tables, arrange wine tastings and organise transfers, and point you towards the places locals go. It’s the difference between finding Franschhoek online and being shown it by people who live here.
Food and wine without the admin
Food is at the centre of a La Clé stay. Think braais under the stars, picnics among the vines and our Shared Table dinners, where guests gather for an evening of good food and conversation. Produce is sourced from within 30km of the farm wherever possible, so what’s on your plate reflects the valley around you.
Space that suits how you travel
Choose a room at La Clé Lodge (five bedrooms, for guests aged 12 and over) or take a private villa for yourselves. Our four villas range from one to four bedrooms and welcome all ages, which makes them an easy fit for couples, families and groups of friends.
Peace of mind, built in
La Clé is a gated property with on-site security, and our team is on hand throughout your stay. Whether you’re heading out for dinner in the village or settling in for a quiet evening, you can relax knowing someone is always close by. It’s the kind of reassurance that’s hard to guarantee with a private rental.
A stay that gives back
La Clé is a foundation sponsor of The Kusasa Project, which supports early childhood education in the Franschhoek valley. Staying with us helps support that work.
